Azhar: Stop insinuating EC's 'political interference' in Chini


PETALING JAYA: The Gerakan chief should not be confused and insinuate that the Election Commission may have "political interference" in the looming Chini by-election, says EC chairman Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun (pic).

Azhar said that it is wrong for Gerakan president Datuk Dr Dominic Lau to "accuse" EC had "confused" everyone when it said that 18-year-olds are not allowed to contest in the by-election.
